Conservative MPs have voted to block plans for sex and relationship education (SRE) to be made compulsory in schools.

Government guidance on Sexual Education currently allows free schools & academies to opt out of teaching the subject in class. As the law stands, state schools are obligated to cover sex education from a biological aspect, but no British schools are required to teach pupils about the social or emotional aspects of sex, or make classes LGBT inclusive.

This obviously leaves a LOT up to the parents. How does EVERY parent approach the subjects of sex and relationships, same-sex relationships, sexual consent, sexual violence and domestic violence in the right way and without help from schools? These are ALL important topics which are growing more concerning as time goes by, and at a younger age for children!

The rejected amendment comes amid fresh criticism from charity campaigners, who claim present teachings are seriously out-dated for the “smartphone generation” of children who are exposed to the internet and influenced by social media.

SRE guidance for schools has not been updated in close to 17 years – making the current legislation older than the majority of pupils learning about the subject.

We at GiftCondom.com that this is abysmal from the current Government. How can children learn more about extremely important and sensitive topics from Twitter and Facebook, than their own schools?! There is some serious misguidance at play here and TOO MUCH is left down to parents.

If you are interested in taking matters into your own hands, and sending your child/niece/nephew a friendly reminder to stay safe, send them an anonymous package of condoms with GiftCondom.com

Modern media is rightfully spotlighting sexual conduct and emphasising the importance of mutual consent. There are obviously important legal, social and moral aspects of sex. In almost every instance “No” should serve as an immediate reason to comply with the wishes of your partner. However, there is one time when ‘No’ just isn’t good enough… Never take “No” for an answer when it comes to protection!

1. “No, we don’t need a condom because I’m healthy and I’m clean.”

If someone claims that they are so healthy and clean that you don’t need to use a condom, their claims may turn out to be inaccurate. Someone who isn’t using condoms with you is unlikely to be using condoms with everyone else and your risk of contracting an STI goes up!

2. “No, I don’t like condoms, it’s difficult to use them.”

Using condoms can leave a mark on someone’s memory if they’ve had trouble with them in the past. Maybe they weren’t able to get hard or they couldn’t figure out how to unwrap a condom properly in the dark. Gift Condoms are high-sensitivity material properly lubricated for maximum pleasure, so that excuse is nonsense… and honestly, if they don’t have the intellect needed to properly unwrap a condom, are they really someone you want to be intimate with at all?

3. “No worries, I’m already on birth control.”

If you had a pound for every person who has lied about taking birth control you would be too busy counting your money to contemplate having sex with anyone! You want to prevent pregnancy, you need to protect yourself from getting an STI – that means YOU need to be the one making sure you are safe and you can do that easily by rejecting their “no” and telling them to it’s a condom right now or it’s time for that awkward walk home alone while contemplating what could have been!

4. “No, and we are done talking about it.”

Someone who says something like that to you before sex doesn’t have a problem that can be solved by a condom. Dump that loser right now and find yourself someone worth having sex with instead. Even more than the gift of a condom, you deserve the gift of a loving, caring and open-minded partner capable of treating you with the respect you deserve!
